It was lovely to be back after the Easter break. We warmed up our voices by singing Bob Marley’s Three Little Birds, which took some of us back to the Performing Arts Department’s lockdown project! We sang Eleanor Rigby by The Beatles, which was really fun. Mr Rye showed us a video of an inspiring choral performance of You’re the Voice (John Farnham), which we started working on at the end of last term. As always, it was a fun 40 minutes. Thanks to Mr Rye and Mrs Williams for all they do.
Please do come along next term, at any time for a listen or a sing. No pressure to perform, just enjoy it week on week. Hope to see you there!
Any questions, please do contact Cathy Williams rhodricathy@sky.com/07813 282910 or please just come along!
A relaxed singing group run by our Director of Music, Mr Rye, who kindly gives up his time to teach us how to sing. It is always fun and uplifting rather than a pressured environment. Our focus is always on enjoying singing and getting the most out of our time together.

This term we will be reading a new book called The Household written by Stacey Halls. We hope you enjoy it.
London, 1847. In a quiet house in the countryside outside London, the finishing touches are being made to welcome a group of young women. The house and its location are top secret, its residents unknown to one another, but the girls have one thing in common: they are fallen. Offering refuge for prostitutes, petty thieves and the destitute, Urania Cottage is a second chance at life – but how badly do they want it?
Meanwhile, a few miles away in a Piccadilly mansion, millionairess Angela Burdett-Coutts, one of the benefactors of Urania Cottage, makes a discovery that leaves her cold. Her stalker of ten years has been released from prison, and she knows it's only a matter of time before their nightmarish game resumes once more.
As the women's worlds collide in ways they could never have expected, they will discover that freedom always comes at a price …
The Household is the new novel from the award-winning, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Familiars, The Foundling and Mrs England. Set against Charles Dickens' home for fallen women and inspired by real figures from history, it is Stacey Halls' most ambitious and captivating novel yet.
